Comprehensive 360° Diabetes Care

Diabetes Mellitus: The condition in which blood sugar level rises above normal range (hyperglycaemia) is called 'Diabetes Mellitus'. Diabetes means that your blood glucose (also called sugar) is too high. Our blood always has some glucose because our body needs glucose for energy and its normal functioning, but too much glucose in blood is bad for our health. This problem is linked to how your body makes and uses insulin. Insulin is a hormone naturally produced by the beta cells in pancreas that helps to keep blood sugars in due normal range.
In Normal Persons blood sugar (glucose) level before eating is 70-100 mg/dl & after eating is less than 140 mg/dl.

We provide a full range of diabetes management services which include glucose testing, continuous blood glucose monitoring post, insulin pump initiation and management, gestational diabetes management, and diabetes and pre-diabetes educational programs. We also perform electrocardiograms which can check for heart problems that may arise due to complications from diabetes apart from performing regular blood pressure and cholesterol checks.

Types Of Diabetes Mellitus:

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: Required insulin from onset of disease due to absolute insulin deficiency. It is due to self-destruction of insulin secreting cells in the pancreas. This can occur at any age but is more common in children, teenagers or young adults. In this condition the pancreas produces no insulin and hence lifelong insulin therapy is a must.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus:This is the most common type of diabetes. This occurs usually in adults above 40 yrs of age, but now-a-days in India it is seen in young population also in India. Being overweight and inactive can increase the chance of developing Type 2 diabetes. In this type of diabetes, the pancreas does not make enough insulin and the fat, muscle or liver cells are resistant to the action of available insulin. They require oral tablets and insulin in some patient to maintain their blood sugars in normal range in addition to diet and exercise therapy.

Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM): Diabetes diagnosed during pregnancy.

Secondary Diabetes Mellitus (SDM): Due to damage pancreas (pancreatitis) e.g. alcohol & Gall Stone related pancreatitis.
